Can someone help me with a c++ program please?

hey i suck at this, i need to write a program that plays the game hangman, i wrote some of it, not even sure if any of it is right though.


I'll post the programs and then I'll ask questions.





#include %26lt;iostream%26gt;


#include %26lt;fstream%26gt;


#include %26lt;string%26gt;


using namespace std;











int main(){


string myWords[1000];


short wordCount=0;


ifstream word;


word.open("dictionary.txt");


while (!word.eof()){


word%26gt;%26gt;myWords;


wordCount++;


}


int x = rand() % wordCount + 0;


string question = myWords[x];








return 0;


}











void drawGallows(char a[]){


char gallows[10]{





" //========= ",


" || ",


" || ",


" || ",


" || ",


" || ",


" || ",


" || ",


"/||\ ",


"

Reply:Well, you seem to have your gallows on the right track, so I'll omit that. My example uses streamstreams in lieu of a file since I didn't feel like creating a file (and you already have the code for that).





For the answer, I'm taking the string's length and turning all its characters into asterisks. Once a letter is found, the string 'ourword' character is also turned into an asterisk. Once all the characters in 'ourword' are asterisks, then it matches the answer, ie. * * * * * *.

string ourword; //for example, copies an array word for puzzle


string answer; //used for comparison


int wrong=0; //must initialize this for increment





void startgame()


{


std::cout%26lt;%26lt;"
Reply:||\n"; //build this function to display hangman
